I received a copy of this book from the Library Thing's Early Reviewer program. This does not effect my review.
Kiar can't wait for the day she can transform into a swan. Her mother is one of the swan folk, and both of her sisters have already changed. (Even though Kiar is heir to her father's throne. ) But getting her wish doesn't make things easier.
This story read like a familiar fairy tale, one that I had heard a long time ago. All the great elements were there - young lovers, A dastardly enemy, betrayal from within. It is rather dark, with a tragic death and mental illness. But I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the chance to read this one.
